Thank you for your interest in Phantom Ranch and we look forward to your stay with us! Please make your selection below to stay at Phantom Ranch as a Hiker or as a Mule Rider. If you have a backcountry permit and only need to reserve meals at the Phantom Ranch Canteen, select the "I Need Meals Only" option. Upon your selection, please follow the process to check for available accommodations and then meals. Available inventory can change quickly, so please note that your inventory is not held and the reservation is not complete until it has been confirmed, guaranteed with a deposit, and you have received a confirmation number. Phantom Ranch Mule Rides are currently cancelled through February 2027, as the Bright Angel Trail is not yet safe for mule riders. Phantom Ranch dormitories are closed indefinitely. As a result, group reservations for Hikers are currently limited to 10 people. Please visit www.nps.gov/gcra for important information regarding trail closures and other relevant information.
